Re: Can my parents be guarantors, even if their property is in New Zealand?

Thanks for the information regarding the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme, but since there’s no guarantee that we would get it, I think saving up, for the time being, is the best option. How much do I need to save to avoid paying LMI?

Re: Can my parents be guarantors, even if their property is in New Zealand?

Thanks. I did not know that my parents’ property had to be located in Australia to be a guarantor. Can I still get a home loan even without help from my parents? I don’t think they’re in a position to gift me a deposit and the parent assist home loan would mean that we have to manage two loans (if we get a home loan)

Can my parents be guarantors, even if their property is in New Zealand?

Hi there. We are hoping to buy a home next year and are saving $1500 every month. For now, we have saved $10,000. We have good credit scores and our combined income is $170,000. We are going for a newly established home to take advantage of the First Home Owners Grant (FHOG) as well. The caveat here is that my parents own their $1.5 million property outright and want to help us as well. Can my parents be guarantors, even if their property is in New Zealand?
